Female objectification never looked so stupid. At one point, Hayek, Rudolph and Bello have to act idiotic enough to believe a skeevy janitor (played, naturally, by Jon Lovitz) is their aerobics instructor, and they comply when he orders them to turn around, bend over and spank themselves. Sandler must be adept at remembering to cash in on IOUs to assemble this crew of actors. Throw in a crew of frat boys, led by Taylor Lautner, who aim to destroy the middle-aged men, and you’ve got one overstuffed film that only a runaway elk can resolve.

Sandler’s Lenny is dealing with the fact that Roxanne (Salma Hayek) wants another baby Kurt (Rock) gets to lord over Deanne (Maya Rudolph) that he remembered their anniversary and she didn’t Eric (James) has to hide frequent trips to his mom’s house from Sally (Maria Bello) and Spade’s Marcus finds out he fathered a son, who happens to be a tattooed teenage thug.Īll these threads, plus many more involving the younger generation’s love lives, math deficiencies, sports aspirations, broken bones, dirty diapers and bullying, vie for attention over the course of the relatively short run time. But every man also gets his own individual story line, each of which seems plucked from a bad sitcom. The film follows four men (Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade) over a single day as the quartet plans a 1980s-themed summer kickoff party. At times it seems to actually drain IQ points from its viewers while wasting a talented cast of “Saturday Night Live” alums, who are all capable of being much smarter and so much funnier. That impressive, if depressing, sum shows the hunger for senseless summer comedies.

The movie revisits the group of longtime friends that made “ Grown Ups” a hit in 2010, bringing in $162 million at the domestic box office. The shtick must be rote by now, and, indeed, “Grown Ups 2” appears to have been made while engaging as few brain cells as possible. He’s capable of portraying nuanced characters, as he did in “ Funny People” and “ Punch-Drunk Love,” but he’s clearly happy to settle for his go-to routine of acting like a child and spewing lazy jokes that include his comic holy trinity: bodily fluids, flatulence and ogling scantily-clad women. Nearly every Adam Sandler movie seems to provoke handwringing over whether he’s living up to his potential.
